Mission
The FDIC contributes to stability and public
confidence in the nation’s financial system
by insuring deposits, examining and super-
vising financial institutions, and managing
receiverships.
The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) is the independent
deposit insurance agency created by Congress
in 1933 to maintain stability and public
confidence in the nation’s banking system.
In its unique role as deposit insurer of banks
and savings associations, and in cooperation
with the other state and federal regulatory
agencies, the FDIC promotes the safety and
soundness of insured depository institutions
and the U.S. financial system by identifying,
monitoring and addressing risks to the deposit
insurance funds.
The FDIC promotes public understanding and
sound public policies by providing financial
and economic information and analyses. It
minimizes disruptive effects from the failure
of banks and savings associations. It assures
fairness in the sale of financial products and
the provision of financial services.
The FDIC’s long and continuing tradition of
public service is supported and sustained by
a highly skilled and diverse workforce that
responds rapidly and successfully to changes
in the financial environment.
